I have similar findings. I fast regularly and take cold showers. Another thing is one meal days are far easier after you do it couple of times. You don’t even think about food which is harder if you have two to three meals per day.

Edit: for those wanting to try this lifestyle, everybody is different. do your own research before jumping into regular fasting or even cold showers. Max time without food I did was 6 days, since then t it he max is 72 hours. Do blood work regularly and if you drink coffee be aware that caffeine withdraws are painful.

I cannot work when I don't eat, I'm unable to think properly. I'm not sure how people manage fasting

It's mind-boggling to me that multiple "one meal" days don't incidentally happen to everyone over the course of a year.

I would think most people have those days where they skip breakfast and lunch due to some or other exigency and only get to eat dinner.
